Lyme Carditis Manifesting as Wenckebach Heart Block

Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is a multisystem disease and can lead to Lyme carditis. The most common presentation of Lyme carditis is conduction system disturbances such as atrioventricular (AV) block. A 72-year-old male with a past medical history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (...

description Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is a multisystem disease and can lead to Lyme carditis. The most common presentation of Lyme carditis is conduction system disturbances such as atrioventricular (AV) block. A 72-year-old male with a past medical history of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and prostate cancer presented with chest tightness, lightheadedness, and presyncope. During hospitalization, he developed bradycardia with heart rates ranging between 30 and 40 beats per minute and Wenckebach heart block. Lyme serology was consistent with a recent Lyme infection. He was treated with antibiotics and was eventually discharged home without requiring pacemaker implantation.
